Pro Tips

  • BUR is dramatically easier to navigate than LAX — plan for half the security and boarding time.
  • If your destination is Pasadena, Hollywood, Glendale, or the Valley, BUR saves you a significant drive vs. LAX.
  • Southwest flights from BUR are popular and often sell out; book early during peak LA travel periods.
  • Parking at BUR is significantly cheaper than LAX — a major advantage for longer trips.
  • The Metrolink shuttle is free — use it for an authentic LA rail experience at very low cost.
  • Arriving passengers can be at their car (rental or own) in 10–15 minutes — a refreshing contrast to LAX.
  • The terminal food options are limited — eat before you arrive or plan to be on the plane.
